1. Fill a basin with cold water and add a little liquid detergent. You want something free of optical brighteners and enzymes, we love Soak.

2. Gently swish your carrier around for 1 minute.

3. Lay out your carrier on a clean towel and roll to press out excess water.

4. Hang to dry, preferable inside and out of the sun. Sunlight can fade natural fibers. Steam iron, if desired.

5. If your carrier has leather - condition leather using a small amount of leather conditioner on a clean, dry cloth (preferably white).

Pro Tip! Conditioning your leather straps once a month, or so as needed will keep it soft and looking its best. Our favorites areChamberlain's Leather Milk,Soakdetergent, and for stains we loveBuncha Farmer's Stain Stick.
